The goal in this blog article is to build a CentOS based OpenLogic 7.0 VM in Azure except using PowerShell instead using the Azure portal website (GUI): First, the name of the image that Azure uses to build those VM’s will need to be determined. This can be accomplished using the Get-AzureVMImage cmdlet: Get-AzureVMImage | Where-Object ImageName -like *centos* | Select-Object -Property ImageName The last one in the previous set of results looks like the image that’s used to create the CentOS based OpenLogic 7.0 VM’s on Azure.
